Why Azure DevOps Release do not remove Pipeline from Azure Data Factory?

Question

I have Data Factory Dev environment. I have removed few pipelines in master branch. Then saved and published.

I have Azure DevOps Release, which has stage Test. I can succesfully create release. I expect now that Dev and Test ADF is identical.

But I still see removed pipeline in Data Factory Test environment. Release pipeline did not remove the pipeline. I'm sure that this has worked in past, but not any more.

I tested to add new pipeline to Data Factory Dev. Release pipeline successfully added pipeline to Data Factory Test environment.

What could be wrong?

This task can be added to an Azure DevOps pipeline to delete Linked Services, Datasets, Dataflows, Pipelines and/or Triggers from an existing Azure Data Factory. Please have a try.
